What’s up champions?! Hope everyone is doing well. Today I wanted to take another look at modular sets. Since the last rankings we’ve had Galaxy’s Most Wanted release which added a few modular sets. I didn’t rank these right away I wanted some time with the new modulars to play with older stuff so I could see how they function outside of the campaign.
So today I wanted to rank the modular sets by difficulty. I’m going to put them into 4 groups, hardest, hard, normal, and easy. Now how I’ve ranked these is by doing my own rankings and also getting input from various members of the community and compiling them into these groups based on the collective input.
The Hardest group is the group that on average across all scenarios increase the scenario difficulty the most.
The Hard group is the group that on average across all scenarios increase the scenario difficulty by a fair amount.
The Normal group on average increases the scenario difficulty by the least amount or don’t add much at all other than variety.
The easy group on average doesn’t increase scenario difficulty at all on average.
obviously there’s edge cases where a certain set can impact a scenario more than others, here we are looking at them on average across all scenarios.
Hardest:
Kree Fanatic
The Doomsday Chair
Legions of Hydra
Anachronauts
Master of Time
Kree militants
Badoon headhunter
Menagerie medley
Hard:
Masters of Evil
A Mess of Things
Hydra Patrol
Temporal
Hydra Assault
Running Interference
Galactic artifacts
Band of Badoon
Space pirates
Normal:
Experimental Weapons
Under Attack
Power Drain
Weapon Master
Goblin Gimmicks
Easy:
Bomb Scare
Ship command
Power stone
In a vaccuum I still think Kree Fantatic is the most brutal modular set we have. GMW added a lot of really solid modular sets, even ship command and power stone, while not hard have interesting interactions and can be very fun. Overall the amount of modular sets has brought me to the point where i now describe marvel Champions as a buffet style lcg. Where you pick and choose what you want on your plate.
thats it for this iteration. I’ll probably wait until after The Hood scenario releases and then we will have like 13-15 new additions and really throw this ranking for a loop. Let me know what modular sets you enjoy using.Thanks for stopping by!
